SPOOK Member Code of Conduct

"Everything you've learned in school as "obvious" becomes less and less obvious as you begin to study the universe. For example, there are no solids in the universe. There's not even a suggestion of a solid. There are no absolute continuums. There are no surfaces. There are no straight lines." - R. Buckminster Fuller

The 29 rules

2. SPOOK advises members to always obey their own conscience. If rules 1 and 2 ever conflict, SPOOK cannot advise members in choosing which rule to break. Members are expected to use their own judgment.

"This above all, to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not be false to any man."
-Hamlet, I.3.78-81 If you don’t know the author, don’t join SPOOK.

4. No psychic vampirism. Stealing a soul is still theft.

5. Respect the rule of fives.

6. Don’t assume every entity is friendly. Prevention of problems and protection of self are central to discovering knowledge and remaining safe and sane. Although immortals might incarnate, incarnation is no guarantee of permanence. No matter what your creed, religion, etc., use judgment, psychic shielding, or whatever defense is necessary and proper. It has been said often- SPOOK encourages members to practice safe sects.

7. When dealing with mundanes, no member represents the whole of SPOOK or its membership, unless the Inner Circle has unanimously authorized a representative or attorney. Individual members have free will and may make any statement about SPOOK they care to. Members' opinions do not necessarily reflect the official positions held by SPOOK. For the official opinions of SPOOK, consult the Book of Insufficient Light. (BoIL) "Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice;" Hamlet, I.3.68

9. Members are to be honest. SPOOK is not a secret society. It’s just ineffable and incomprehensible. SPOOK is not a secret society. SPOOK is not a secret society.

18. When discovering new methods for eternal life, transmogrification, telekinesis, and other such parlor tricks, please consider whether you should do a thing simply because it is possible.

19. Do not simply go through life freely catering to people of the physical world. Instead, realize the error of your ways, and send them an invoice.

20. When doing divination of any form, always state, or carry and display a sign, business card, or other medium (other than yourself) visible to the mundane(s) being divined to, clearly stating, "For Entertainment Purposes Only." This should be done regardless of your consistent and statistically improbable accuracy. We want to leave mundanes with some illusion of having free will… Walk softly, and carry a big dowsing rod.

21.a. This rule breaks itself.
